Jetboating in Sydney: Compare prices, deals & more

Jetboats are fast-moving boats with the ability to do 360-degree spins, slides and power-break stops.

They work by pulling water from underneath the vessel into a pump inside the boat before expelling water through the back to propel the craft.

Originally designed to operate in fast-flowing and shallow rivers to avoid traditional propellers hitting rocks, jetboats are mostly now being used for adventure tourism zipping passengers by famous landmarks, which makes it a great thrill-seeking alternative to a traditional sightseeing cruise. A selection of companies operate in Sydney harbour, so all you need to do is pick your favourite.

Some jetboat experiences out to the headlands, where Sydney Harbour meets the Tasman Sea, and where the water is generally a lot more choppy. Select jetboating experiences leave Sydney Harbour to explore the coastline.

Important information about this website

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.

Products marked as 'Promoted' or "Advertisement" are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options and find the best option for you.

The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.

Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
